IPL 2025: Narine’s All-round Show Helps KKR Thrash CSK By Eight Wickets
Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine put out a superb all-round show - picking 3-13 in his four overs and then smashing an entertaining 44, as a ruthless Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) thoroughly outplayed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by eight wickets in a one-sided clash of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.
On a black-soil pitch which offered help to spinners from the word go, Narine, Varun Chakaravarthy and Moeen Ali, brought to counter left-handed batters, picked six wickets collectively as CSK’s batting never got going and ended up at a below-par 103/9, their lowest IPL total at Chepauk.
In reply, Narine’s pyrotechnics, as well as CSK bowlers pitching their deliveries too full meant KKR chased down the paltry total with 59 balls to spare. It also meant that CSK suffered their biggest margin of defeat in the IPL in terms of balls remaining, while losing five consecutive games for the first time in their history of being in the competition.
